"Obviously it's way too early now," he said. "He doesn't mind kissing and that's where the relationships are, but as things progress and we get closer to fantasy suites and overnights, it absolutely becomes an issue, and he's very open about it."

Harrison, who explained that Lowe "wears his religion and his heart on his sleeve", added that the Bachelor did not have a problem with Selma's decision not to kiss him on screen.

"I would think for maybe another Bachelor it would matter, but with Sean it only helps and it only adds to the attraction," he said. "Sean is a slow mover. He's not one to jump into bed with anybody, and the fact that a girl wants to take it very slow is totally fine for him.

"That will never be a deterrent for him. I also think it raised her stock and made her more intriguing, but how long will that work? At some point he'll say, 'Okay, I want to kiss you'."
